didn’t think Emily Henry could top herself but this is, dare I say it, her best yet?!?

My favorite author writes an ode to Nora Ephron and Sense and Sensibility and subverts a lot of tropes in the process?! And they love books! Couldn’t ask for more, for me at least. 

One small thing is that I could do with less grief over dead parents in her future books, but I’ll keep reading and rereading regardless. 

I read the end first, as I always do, only to have my ‘bad’ bookish habit reflected in Nora (and Harry, from When Harry Met Sally, so I’m fully here for the defense of this habit). Always great to see yourself reflected in good literature.
